Program Notes
Tropicos- A work in five movements written in 1981. Behind the folk-like tunes and dances, there is another reality in this tropical landscape, sometimes cruel, sometimes ironic. The piece is written for woodwind quintet and strings, and despite its title, I carefully avoided the use of percussion instruments. Nevertheless, in certain passages the bows hit the strings with the wood or the woodwinds depress the keys without blowing. The common denominator in these five segments is the fragmentation of binary and ternary rhythms into their smaller components while the harmonic and melodic material expands from simple scales to more complex density and textures. Tropicos is a true etude which encourages a vigorous dialogue between the soloist and the ensemble. --Lalo Schifrin
